IMPORTANT
The battery is charged while in the camera. Never attempt to charge the battery
with another charger.
If a problem arises during charging, unplug the power cord from the mains power
outlet, remove the battery from the camera and contact Toshiba Customer
Service Department or Toshiba Customer Support Department. Be careful when
removing the battery as it can become hot.
If the camera is charged in conditions where it becomes hot (in direct sunlight,
etc.), the heat in the camera may trigger a sensor in the camera that prevents
charging from beginning immediately. If this occurs, allow the camera to cool fully
before charging.
MEMO
To get the best possible performance from your battery, charge it when the
ambient temperature is between 50F (10C) and 86F (30C).

Inserting an SD Card
Insert the SD card into the SD slot, ensuring that the card
is facing in the right direction (as shown below).
With the notch facing upwards (towards the lens), push
the card firmly all the way into the slot.
Check that the SD card is pushed fully and securely into
the slot.
To have images you shoot recorded on an SD card, you
should insert an SD card for that purpose before taking
images.
See Selecting an SD Card as the Save Location and
Creating Albums
p.74.
Preparation
Removing an SD Card
Push the card into the slot once so that it springs out
slightly. Then slowly pull it out of the slot.
IMPORTANT
Never remove an SD card while images are being recorded (while the MEDIA
LED is lit). Doing so could corrupt the data on the SD card or damage the SD card
itself.
The first time you use an SD card, or when using an SD card that has been used
on another device, always format the card in the camera before recording.
This camera does not support the MultiMediaCard format.
33
p.28.
Turning the Camera On and Off by Opening and Closing the LCD Monitor
Opening the LCD monitor turns the camera on and closing
the LCD monitor turns the camera off.
The first time you use the camera, or when the battery has
been left out of the camera for a long period, the screen for
setting the date and time appears.
Set the date and time.
See Setting the Date and Time
p.35.
MEMO
If [LCD-LINKED POWER] is set to [OFF], opening and closing the LCD monitor
does not turn the camera on and off. Slide the POWER switch to turn the camera
on and off.
Use the mode LED to check whether the camera is turned on when the LCD
monitor is closed.
See LCD-linked Power
p.140.
See Camera LEDs
p.25.
MEMO
If the camera is not used for a set period of time, it automatically turns off to avoid
wasting battery power. This is called the Auto power off ( p.139).
If you load the battery or connect the AC adapter without correctly shutting down
the camera first, the camera may not operate correctly. If this occurs, turn the
camera off and on again.
To forcibly turn off the camera when there is a problem such as a system error,
slide the POWER switch across and hold it in place for at least 5 seconds. Note
that this may result in the loss of any files that are being created. Settings such as
the date and time may also revert to their default values. In this event, reset the
settings before using the camera again.
IMPORTANT
If you open the battery cover when an AC adapter is not connected, the power will
automatically go off.

IMPORTANT
Do not disconnect the AC adaptor, open or close the battery cover, or remove the
battery or SD card while the camera is in operation. Doing so may damage the
camera, hard disk drive and/or SD card, and may corrupt the data stored on the
hard disk drive or SD card.
Avoid low temperature-burns when using the camera for long periods of time. The
camera can get hot, especially when used in hot environments. For long periods
of shooting, the use of a tripod is recommended.
When you are shooting very bright or shiny subjects, vertical bands may appear
on the image. This is a phenomenon called smear (see Glossary
p.198) and
is not a problem with the camera.
MEMO
The maximum size for a single video file is 4GB*. When the file size approaches
4GB during video recording, a countdown begins on the screen 10 minutes before
the limit is reached.
If you just continue shooting, the camera automatically stops shooting the video,
creates a video file and then resumes shooting.
The size of the created video file will be slightly less than 4GB.
If you set the LCD monitor in the backward-facing position, the image is displayed
reversed left to right, like the image in a mirror. However, using any of the camera
buttons or keys temporarily changes the image back to normal.
You can insert up to 99 chapters in each video file.
Video recording uses up battery charge more quickly than still image
photography.
When you focus the lens either automatically or manually while shooting a video,
the lens operation noise as it focuses may also be recorded in the video.
See Setting the Focus
p.62.
The lens operation noise emitted while you are using the zoom lever may also be
recorded in the video.

following conditions.
Where there are also objects behind or in front of the subject (as with an animal
behind bars or a person standing in front of a tree)
Very glossy subjects such as a mirror or car body
Objects with little or no reflectivity, such as fur or hair
Subjects with very low contrast (such as a person wearing clothing of the same
color as the background)
Subjects moving at high speed
Subjects with no substance, such as flames or smoke
Subjects photographed through glass
Subjects that are small and far away
Extremely bright subjects (such as lights, etc.)

IMPORTANT
Toshiba recommends that you take the following minimum general security
precautions in connection with choosing a GROUP NAME and PASSWORD
when connecting the camera to a DVD recorder with DVR:
Choose a unique GROUP NAME and PASSWORD that would be difficult for
someone else to guess (e.g., do not use the same PASSWORD that you use
for your email account, router, etc.).
Do not share your GROUP NAME and PASSWORD with anyone.
On some models of Toshiba DVD recorder with DVR, TOSHIBA (half-pitch
uppercase letters) is set as both the default group name and the group password.
If you continue to use the default settings on a Toshiba DVD recorder with DVR,
(you can also set TOSHIBA as the group name and password for the camera),
it is strongly recommended that you set new group names and passwords to
prevent unauthorized access to your data.
